History

The group formed in 2011 when López and Figueroa met each other while hanging out. The duo began to trade musical ideas and sharing beats online while both members lived in different cities such as San Juan, Philadelphia, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro and Miami.[2] They began to work on a project called Yo soy Luis él es Juan created by Luis and his friend Juan Fernández, before Ángel moved to Philadelphia. They worked under the names Casa Club, Walter Mercado's Club before eventually changing their official name to Los Wálters.[3]

They released their debut eponymous EP in 2011, with their first album released in 2013 titled #ponteelcasco.[3] Their second album Verano Panorámico was released in 2014.[4] Their third album Isla Disco was released in 2016, with some of their most memorable songs like Claridad and Mayagüez.[5]

The band also worked on a song for the annual Banco Popular Christmas album where they recorded with Eduardo Alegría the cover of Y yo no bailo a song originally made by Menudo.[6]
